NOTES:
I would like to positively identify Andrew's parents.
His father might be Conrad Simon s/o Andreas Simon & Anna
Margaretha Pulver?
His mother might be Maria Kellerhaus d/o Wilhelmus Kellerhaus
and Geertje Funk?
Catharine: mother? step-mother?
Conrad Simon (son of Andreas) was born in Columbia Co. NY and was baptised
in Dutchess
Co., NY. Information regarding Conrad and Maria ends with the
baptism of their fifth child John in
1803, in Columbia Co., NY.
There was also a Conrad Simon (of various phonetic spellings) in Greene
Co., NY.
- 1810 Greenville census: Camrad Simon
- 1820 Greenville census: Coenrad Siemon
- 1830 Wright Street School records, Durham, - Coenradt
Simmons
- 1840 - ?
- 1850 - ?
- 1855 Cairo census: living with daughter and son-in-law:
Jacob & Lucinda Garrison
note: In 1840, an elderly couple lived with Andrew in Walton.
(tally system)
In 1850, Coonrod
and Catharine Simmons lived with Andrew.
-Coonrod was born in NY and (with a little math) his birth year is 1767/8.
-Catharine was born in NY and (with a little math) her birth year is 1777/8.
1854, an elderly
"Mrs. Simmons" died in Walton.
I've been stuck on Andrew's parents for a few years and would love some
new documentative
leads!!!
